You never wanted to call on this side until late in the day, but it

I have been fortunate to have shared a few really fine brandies over
the years. Armagnacs, and Calvados. Fruit juice after brandy? Why
sure, no prob. Many are overpriced and overrated, IMHO.

Gag me with a spoon. Martinis are gin based. The ones with vodak [sic]
in them are cocktails. And appletinis? Oy! Those are rude!
Robbie's martini secret recipe:
Tall, martini shaped glass. Frozen.
3 oz of dry gin. Sapphire or Boodles. Then.. in an adjacent room, one
opens a bottle of dry vermouth. If there isn't too much of a draught,
then it is safe to fill the Martini Dry Vermouth's bottle cap. A
careful puff of breath aimed in the direction of the room where the
gin patiently awaits a waft of vermouth vapours. Presto. No lemon
rind nonsense, because, to quote Jackie Gleason: "If I want lemonade,
I will ask for lemonade."
NO ice, we are here to drink, not to skate.
An olive? Maybe 3 on a skewer, weeeee little ones.
.
.
Six of those and you're a stock-broker.

What kind: Champion?* I used to lust after getting one of those back
when I was an organic vegetarian macrobiotic hippie.
* Those are the good kind of juice "extractors" that expel the pulp
along with the juice so you can keep on juicing without stopping to
clean out the pulp. I had a little Oster juicer that was OK, but the
pulp stayed inside the basket and had to be cleaned out frequently.

Pretty basic. Mostly orange juice. maybe some berries. Add a little ginger
ale.
Use it as a chaser for straight shots of cognac.

I'm with you on the shaken-not-stirred thing, but dontcha think that old
"gin only" ship has long since sailed? Methinks you're fighting a losing
battle here. I have one friend/client who's a martiniphile and prefers
vodka.

Yeah, yeah; I think we've all heard those "just give a sideways glance
at a bottle of vermouth" prescriptions. (By the bye, didn't Herb Caen
tell this same story?)
Myself, I'll use gin or vodka as I please (but prefer gin), and mix the
drink in the proportions of a little vermouth:a lot of gin/vodka.
A frosted glass is always a Good Thing. And it should be a classic
martini glass, not a tumbler or a Coke glass or a wine glass.
My personal recipe (not original to me, but given by some friends, Joe &
Kirsten):
Obtain a cocktail shaker.
Mix gin (or vodka) and vermouth in your preferred ratio.
Put in 2-3 good-sized ice cubes.
Shake the hell out of the shaker.
The drink is considered done when your hand starts sticking to the shaker.
The resulting ice crystals in the martini make an exquisite drink.

Back in the days when I would partake a martin-eye or two, would keep
a bottle of "Shine" in the zero degree freezer.
At 190+, that stuff would get your attention, as QUICK.
Made no difference your normal preference, gin or vodka, a sip of that
stuff, and all you wanted was water.

I believe the standard prescription is pouring the gin while looking at

picture to the dash.

Screw the lid off a pint of 100 proof Tangueray gin,
pitch lid out car window, after much discussion with
your drinking partner, mark the halfway point with your thumb,
drink down to the marked point and pass to partner,
they discard empty bottle out the other window.
Perfect martini.

The BEST 'martini' (yup, that's what they called it) was a crew of
demolition guys, hired to tear down 6 store-fronts on Queen West in
TO, and it was HOT HOT HOT that day. They had a formula... and it fit
exactly; a job-site cooler, which took the following:
2 x 40 oz of Boodles gin.
3 x 1.5 liter bottles of Schweppes tonic.
ONE whole bag of ice.
and one pint of lemon juice.
.
.
.
it was 106F that day. There were 8 of us...we refilled that sucker
twice. We were intoxocuted.

Is it a neander-juicer or a normal-juicer? Either way, congratulations!
I've heard that a shot of elm juice is good for headaches and ordinary
aches and pains (as from running a neander-juicer). :)

Nahh, that's just gin. For it to be a martini you need a picture of a
vermouth bottle in the car.

Well... I have no objection to vodka in its place, it's just not a
martini. Gin must be (or should be, anyway) consumed with discretion,
taste, and restraint, or the old adage will kick in, "Gin makes you
sin". I have a lovely relationship - restrained and disciplined - with
Hendrix, a particularly fine example of Ginophage.

These are children's drinks wherein the intent is to get mentally
rearranged and never taste the instrument of one's destruction. For
such people, I recommend straight Sterno.
P.S. I have few rules about living, but one of them is ironclad:
No alcohol before power tools, firearms, or women - mixing
any of the aforementioned will cause one to lose life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness...

TMI, and now you realize just how much fiber there is in juice. But

http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1859/why-did-james-bond-want-his-martinis-shaken-not-stirred
The reason the debonair Bond wants his martini shaken is that he is an
iconoclast. He's not drinking a martini at all! He's drinking a vodka
martini. There's a difference, as we shall see. Pay close
attention--we will not use the terms interchangeably but it's easy to
get confused.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaken,_not_stirred
Some connoisseurs believe that shaking gin is a faux pas,
supposedly because the shaking "bruises" the gin (a term referring to
a slight bitter taste that can allegedly occur when gin is shaken).
In Fleming's Casino Royale novel, it is stated that Bond "watched
as the deep glass became frosted with the pale golden drink, slightly
aerated by the bruising of the shaker," suggesting that Bond was
requesting it shaken because of the vodka it contained.
Prior to the 1960s, vodka was, for the most part, refined from
potatoes (usually cheaper brands). This element made the vodka oily.
To disperse the oil, Bond ordered his martinis shaken; thus, in the
same scene where he orders the martini, he tells the barman about how
vodka made from grain rather than potatoes makes his drink even
better.
Other reasons for shaking tend to include making the drink colder
or as Bond called it, ice-cold. Shaking allows the drink to couple
with the ice longer thus making it far colder than if it were to be
stirred. Shaking is also said to dissolve the vermouth better making
it less oily tasting.
While properly called a Bradford, shaken martinis also appear
cloudier than when stirred. This is caused by the small fragments of
ice present in a shaken martini.
There now. Do not touch power tools for 12 hours, please.
